Andechs Export Dark

All beers from the Andechs monastery brewery are brewed using the multiple mashing process In the course of this ancient method, not the entire mash, but only a part of it is passed into the mash kettle There, the part is heated and then returned to the mash tun to the rest of the mash The hot mash heats the cold rest The process is repeated several times in order to elicit the full potential of the malt The grain conjures up a particularly full-bodied, soft aroma in the beer and justifies this elaborate process

One beer in which the benefits of this process are particularly evident is the dark Export This noble drop flows into the glass in a shimmering ruby-red chestnut hue and is crowned with a good portion of ivory-colored foam A room-filling aroma of dark malt, toffee and fine cocoa rises from the firm crown, The taste test reveals a surprisingly tangy body that envelops the palate with velvety roasted aromas, melting chocolate and creamy caramel A harmonious roasted bitterness rounds off the interplay of flavors harmoniously and skillfully cushions the sweetness

Thanks to its dark aroma and generous cereal notes, this export beer is a wonderful drink for cold, uncomfortable days and warms body and soul with its 4.9% alcohol content and fabulous taste
